My new to me Californian 42 LRC has too many power cords. On the starboard side there is a standard 30 amp yellow cord that plugs into the dockside 30 amp service. There are 2 30 amp outlets in my slip. On the port side there are 2 more 30 amp chrome caps over connectors. When I test these 2 one of them shows 120v, so it is hooked to my breaker panel and indeed when I peek inside I see 2 sets of wires connected to the breakers. There is a second chord on the boat but it has a standard household 3 prong on the male side and a 30 amp female on the other. The other port outlet shows no voltage, so it goes somewhere else. The boat has air conditioning ducted to the aft cabin and the unit is in the stern. There are also heaters in the salon and in the aft cabin. I have not been able to get heat or air to work. I suspect that the dead receptacle needs to be plugged into dock power. Any ideas what I have here? Should I change the household plug end to a 30 amp and plug in?
